Orange. orange. How I love thee.

I confess. I felt as though I betrayed thee last week, when I pledged my favoritism to fuchsia.

But can’t a girl have two favorites?

Just ask my boys. If you asked them what my favorite color is, they would pledge up and down. Orange!

Well, orange. These posts are for you. That’s right. I am dedicating two posts in a row to my beloved orange.

Because I love thee.

Let me start out by sharing 3 pics that make orange look its best.

Pics of my guys, of course. School pics!!!!

I don’t chat about it too much here on this ol’ decorating blog, but many of you know that I homeschool my boys. It is one of the best things in my life {not to be confused with easiest}, and I love being with them and watching them learn. It has plusses and minuses, being a homeschool momma. I could gush about the plusses, but one thing that can be a bummer is the lack of annual school pics. I am SO thankful that we have a local group who organizes yearbook-style photo sessions for us.

And so, I could not resist… showing you my boys. {In orange classic stripes of course}. Seriously, aren’t they dashing? How I wish you could see catch a glimpse of how sweet and funny and energetic they are. Oh, I could show you designs galore, but all of my loves and creations pale in comparison to these blessings:

My Second Grader, 2012

My Kindergartener, 2012

Class picture, the O.W.L. Academy 2012

All of these stunning pics were taken by the super talented Erin Dickson. If you hop-sy on over to her website, Erin Dickson Photography, you might just be able to spot more pics of our family. In orange, of course.

Won’t you show Erin some love? I would love to help encourage her and build her up with some Facebook likes. Would you be willing to click on over and Like her page? Thank you! I just love helping women business owners as they use their talents. I think one of Erin’s greatest gifts is that of capturing the eyes of her subjects so well. When you peruse her portfolio and pics on her Facebook page, I am sure you will agree.

Tomorrow, a line-up of drool-worthy pics and interiors that can make orange look almost as wonderful as my boys make orange look. See you, same bat time.

This apartment is so absolutely breathtaking that I actually cannot think of enough gorgeous amazing-ness words to describe it.

I first saw the dining room on Pinterest, and when I hopped over to the Architectural Digest article on Nina Garcia’s apartment, I just about passed out. For realsie. Each room, more gorgeous than the last. My jaw hit the floor. I LOVE these spaces. And, I don’t throw my capital L.O.V.E.’s out there very often.

So forget about a single room ditto. Today, I am showing you this entire apartment. Because it is THAT good. And once again, before you dive in, consider these design concepts that I believe make his spaces SOOOOO ditto-worthy. {and don’t forget to think about what YOU would ditto from these spaces! Let me know in the comments.}

This breathtaking home is ditto-worthy because:

1. the contrasting mix of soft cool tones and pale warm tones.
2. the airy feel of leggy, gentle furnishings
3. fresh greenery and flowers, of course.
4. art! big, glorious art.
5. clean lines that are absolutely elegant.
6. clean surfaces are minimalistic, but the layering of fabric is copious. I love that!
7. ceiling to floor drapes!
8. the balance of each space is superb. Each room is pleasantly full, but full of air and breath. The spaces are peaceful.

Breathtaking, no?

Would you dare to bring such elegant simplicity and glamour into your home?

so, do tell:

what would you ditto from these STUNNING spaces????
